The apostle now turns to a more positive theme, hoping better things of the Hebrews who were wavering, directing them to remember their past experience and their joyful suffering for Christ's sake, and the terribleness of turning from the truth.
1. They had been illuminated in the truth v32. The reality of a kind of illumination which falls short of a renewing change.
2. They had suffered on account of the truth v32-34. The Hebrews' former sufferings and joy.
3. They had the hope of heaven v34. Esteeming Christ and the things which are above necessary to a joyful parting with wordly possessions.
4. They must not turn aside now v35. The great recompense of reward for those who follow Christ. Reasons for wavering amongst professing Christians. The apostle's use of the past to apply certain truths.
Application - A word to the disillusioned and weary. - A word to those who made a profession and profess to have been backsliden ever since. - A word to those in love with this world.
